Hi folks, My 2nd gear brand piston cover was leaking. I did some research in the archives and found that it is necessary to drop the valve body to reinsert the piston at the end of the repair. Everyone had mentioned that the rods "fall out of the pockets" when you pop the cover off. Following this advice, I removed the valve body first, and then 2nd gear brake band cover. When I removed the piston (watching from underneath all the while), nothing seemed to pop out other than the piston and cover. It looks like it will fit back in fine, as if it were never necessary to remove the valve body. The transmission has been in Park from the start of the repair. What am I missing here? Any advice appreciated, Greg Stelz 86 Westy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/
